What childcare usually costs in Surrey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Surrey from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children thrive in the excellent care and expert knowledge of staff at this nursery.
They feel valued and listened to. Children's ideas, interests and views are respected and creatively included in the planning of activities, to promote their continuous learning and development. For example, boys who require more support to develop strength and control of the muscles in their hands are enticed into engaging in a threading activity, as the beads are shaped as dinosaurs and cars. Children remain deeply engrossed in their learning for long periods of time and demonstrate superb cooperation and collaboration skills for their age. This helps promote a positive attitude to learning and supports children's growing understanding of social rules and relationships.
Staff make the most of every opportunity to teach children how to identify hazards, practise critical thinking and attempt to problem-solve for themselves. Staff remain vigilant and close by as they supervise and gently guide children where needed.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
